I had written in an e-mail to all beneficiares:

"...and most of his brothers and sisters have nothing to say, preferring to keep the peace no matter how serious the crime."

To which Kerry's brother replied:

"Kerry is not going to experience an epiphany and start spilling his guts just because you or anyone else demands or thinks he should do so."

"Presumedly, he rationalized that taking Liz's money was proper recompense for his 'dedication' and service to Liz over the years - which is pure BS for the most part, and was a fair exchange for destroying his relationships with other family members. That being the case, there is no peace to be kept and therefore, there really is nothing else to be said. You can repeatedly call Kerry a crook, a liar, a thief and say, 'see, I was right all along' (didn't really take that long for everyone else to figure that out) but that solves nothing. As far as the family goes, Kerry has destroyed any credibilty he might have had with the rest of the family and apparently could care less. With his reputation already pretty much destroyed, putting his picture up on the ERB website and writing about his misdeeds begins to look more like a personal attack rather than an attempt to get to the truth, get Kerry to tell the truth or feel guilty enough to tell the truth. Ain't gonna happen. At this point, Kerry really has nothing to lose."

"It's not a matter of having nothing to say and/or 'preferring to keep the peace no matter how serious the crime.' It is, however, about understanding what a tremendous amount of productive time would be wasted rehashing the issue over and over and over again and trying to get any money out of Kerry or trying to get him to fess up to the truth. He has essentially given the rest of us the 1 finger salute and apparently could care less about the cost of lost family relationships. Saying anything further is pointless."

"On the other hand however, ERB does have something to lose - their own reputation. Kerry's deal is done and he's got the money. ERB hopes to do more business in the future. Including Kerry's picture and other info on the website gives ERB the opportunity to tell people who ask about it that it's nothing more that one disgrunteled relative."

"You and the rest of us have already been aware of the truth for some time now - he's guilty! No more effort is required to learn 'the truth'. Kerry does not care so sending the email to him - a waste of time."

"...in rationalizing his actions Kerry has simply displaced morality (what I did was obviously wrong and dishonest) with moral relativism (because of my devotion to Liz, I am right to do as I wish with Liz's assets and hide the truth from everyone, even though I know it is morally wrong) which has allowed him to free himself from any feelings of pressure or guilt. He's got the money and could care less what you or anyone else say's about him which is why 'the rest of his brothers and sisters' are not inclined to spend their time putting useless and ineffective 'pressure' on him. It has nothing to do with supporting or not supporting you. It has teverything to do with admitting the obvious."

"Kerry has obviously done some bad (evil) stuff and all of the beneficiaries have been quite aware of that fact for some time."
